Obituary: Morris Isadore Zoblotsky

Morris Isadore Zoblotsky, 88, of Atlanta, Ga., passed away Dec. 5, 2023. He was born in Taylor, Texas, on May 10, 1935, to Bessie and Joe Zoblotsky, of blessed memory. In addition to his beloved wife Beverly, he is survived by his sister Margie Glazer of Dallas, Texas, his children, Michelle (Evan) Bruck, Melinda (Gavin) Cobb, and Mark (Emi) Zoblotsky, and his grandchildren, Jenna, Justin, Ben, Nicole, Jonah, and Isabelle. Morris is also survived by his niece Nanci Gay and his nephew Michael (Arlene) Glazer.

Morris and Beverly were married for 56 years and raised their family in Atlanta. He was a devoted husband, and a doting father and grandfather, often telling his kids that in his opinion, net worth should not be measured by the size of people’s bank accounts, but by how proud their children make them. He would then say that by that standard, he was the wealthiest man in the world. Morris would end every conversation with his children by telling them how proud he was of them and how much he loved them.

Morris learned the value of hard work early in life, helping his parents run their shoe store after a long day of school at age 12. He earned a college degree from the University of Texas and spent many years working in the shoe business. Upon retirement, Morris discovered a second career and loved every minute of it assisting his son-in-law Gavin with his property management business. Morris was forced into retirement by his family at the young age of 85. His warmth, sincerity, wisdom, gentle spirit, and love of telling jokes and stories won the hearts of many, many friends, and colleagues throughout his life.

Morris was cherished not only by his family, but by all who knew him. Contributions in honor of his life may be made to the Temple Sinai or to a charity of your choice. Dressler’s Jewish Funeral Care, 770-451-4999.
